# Credit and Parent-Child Accounts

## Create Parent-Child Accounts

Parent-child accounts are useful when one financial account contains multiple currencies or separate balances.

1. Create the main account on the account management page.
2. Edit the main account and add child accounts.
3. Choose a currency and enter a balance for each child account.
4. Tap the main account on Assets to expand it or open a child account.

The main account total converts every child account to the main account's currency first. A child account page still shows its original currency balance.

## Use a Credit Account

When creating or editing an account, choose the credit account type and set its credit limit, statement date, repayment date, and other details.

| Page                            | Content                                                                 |
| ------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Credit account details**      | Current amount owed, credit limit, and remaining credit                 |
| **Statement cycle**             | Purchases, repayments, and adjustments in the current cycle             |
| **Statistics**                  | Amounts and related records within the cycle                            |
| **Multi-currency main account** | Child accounts converted to the main account's currency before totaling |

When using **Credit Card Repayment**, choose the repayment account and credit account. Do not record another standard transfer for the same repayment.

{% hint style="info" %}
The main account total, statement-cycle statistics, and remaining credit all use the main account's currency. Amounts in different currencies are never added directly.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.daak2.com/assets/credit-and-subaccounts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
